[quote:AlkaliDesert:MV8yMTQwNTUwXzM2MTQ3OTQ3X0NGRDY4Mjcz] Pretty much any given symptom of pregnancy can be not experienced, or explained away by some other cause. The vast majority of women clue in, but if you get a perfect storm of mild symptoms and throw in a touch of denial, you get the occasional woman who has no clue. A handful a year out of how many pregnant women? It isn't a very big percentage. Women with PCOS may be used to missing their periods for months on end. Same with women around menopause age (the woman in this article was 44). Both may think they're infertile, and pregnancy wouldn't be the top explanation for their symptoms. Some women don't spill HCG in their urine and will never have a positive urine pregnancy test (though a blood test will still be positive). (And, of course, you have to take a test to get a positive.) Many women don't experience morning sickness to any significant extent, or it's brief enough to be mistaken for a bad stomach bug. Some women don't gain much weight, or may even lose some. This is especially true if they're obese to begin with. Or they may just think they're eating too much. Anterior placenta, fetal positioning, and obesity can both mask fetal movements, and some babies are less active. Some women don't show much. Again, obesity contributes to this, but women with long torsos have more room for a baby to hide and don't tend to develop the basketball belly. These are almost always first pregnancies, so the women don't recognize what they're feeling from previous pregnancies. But occasionally you get someone who has been pregnant before who doesn't recognize a subsequent pregnancy because their symptoms are totally different from what they remember. [/quote]

"Some people have nine months to prepare. I had (15) hours," her husband, Mike, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Monday.
Unaware of her pregnancy until the day she delivered, Linda Ackley, 44, of Summit Township underwent an emergency C-section on Friday.
